Chris Brown, Drake Slapped With Bar-Brawl Lawsuit

Bury the hate, you two - before this gets expensive.

The aftershocks of a June barroom brawl involving Chris Brown and Drake have finally toppled enough people, that some have started pushing back. According to a report by X17Online.com, Rihanna's feudin', fussin', fightin' exes are both being sued by parties claiming the brawl financially wounded the establishment where they crossed paths.

The filing from Entertainment Enterprises, which owns the night spot Greenhouse in New York City, claimed that the scuffle between the R&B and hip-hop stars' followers left patrons injured in the crossfire and led to a $20-million suit from star NBA guard Tony Parker.

The celebrated San Antonio Spur suffered a severe eye injury during the fracas that required surgery and nearly kept him off the 2012 Summer Olympiad's basketball court as a member of the French basketball team.

Allegedly, the whole brawl started over trash-talking between the two over their respective prior relationships with Rihanna. While Drake's ended comparatively unremarkably, Brown's included mauling her in a moving SUV on the even of the 2009 Grammy Awards - an incident that's engendered blinding, scathing, Sonny-versus-Carlo-in-"The Godfather" hatred from others to Brown. Entertainment Enterprises has claimed that the pair didn't diffuse the incident when things got physical and bottles started being thrown.

"It's their posse, and they're in charge, and to the extent that they could have controlled or dissipated whatever was going on, we don't believe they did," plaintiff attorney Andrew T. Miltenberg said.

Neither star's representatives addressed the suit. Combined, the plaintiffs seek a total $16 million in damages for bad publicity stemming from the loss of a $4-million licensing deal for the "Greenhouse" name, on top of lost wages, the cost of other lawsuits against the establishment from the incident, and the crippling possible loss of Greenhouse's liquor license.

Next month, the two square off in a much more civil arena: vying against one another in multiple categories at the MTV Video Music Awards.
